<p><i>Love Goes to Buildings on Fire</i> by Will Hermes - Five Years in New York that Changed Music Forever<br><br>''A must-read for any music fan'' (<i>Boston Globe)</i><br><br>Crime was everywhere, the government was broke and the city''s infrastructure was collapsing, but between 1974 and 1978 virtually all forms of music were being recreated in New York City: disco and salsa, the loft jazz scene and the Minimalist classical composers, hip hop and punk. <br><br>Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith arrived from New Jersey; Grandmaster Flash transformed the turntable into a musical instrument; Steve Reich and Philip Glass shared an apartment as they experimented with composition; the New York Dolls and Talking Heads blew away the grungy clubs; Weather Report and Herbie Hancock created jazz-rock; and Bob Dylan returned with <i>Blood on the Tracks.</i><br><br>Recommended by Nick Hornby, this fascinating and hugely inspiring book will be loved by readers of <i>Just Kids</i> by Patti Smith,
